That was already a month ago, but I still haven't taken any better pics so I'll stick to that one: "before": after:

Sadly lost some definition in my arms I think (from when the pic was taken to now), and gained some fat on my belly because I've been so lazy last month, but I'm getting back to being more active now..

Can you find a workout partner? It is easier to stay motivated that way, if you have someone to push you.

I have made it a habit to get back into the mindset that every workout is war. All-out, 100% do-it-or-die-trying war. If you want to get bigger and/or stronger, lifting won't be fun most days.

I've been thinking about that as well. However I'm the only person I know (outside of this forum ), that wants to gain muscle mass as a female. Everybody else just wants to be as slim as possible..But I feel like I just needed the one-month "break"/inconsistency, and am now ready to start over

I'm so happy about my tummy today (being more active the last few days and eating cleaner/less really has paid off!)I just need to share pics because I'm so happy that I'm finally fitting into my size 4 pants without having love handles..I've almost reached my goals considering my tummy, so I'll start to concentrate on my arms and back more (goal = more muscular) Lots of pull ups and push ups.. Will post pictures when I see results

[weight: about the same as end of June: 121-124 lbs, but I think there's a difference in how much of that weight is made up by muscles/fat (feel more muscular, less "fat" now)]
